My 8yo discovered my Playdate about 6 months ago and she loves it. She did crack the handle off of the crank though, so fragility might be a consideration...

We love our Playdate. Admittedly, when I first got the Playdate, it was a bit of a flash in the pan for me, possibly due in part to not having many games to try while Season 1 was …

Thumbs up for Wispr Flow. Their iOS app was just released last week, and is an interesting addition to the product. I needed to do an inventory of stuff in our house over the weeke…

Woah! > - Manual option for max heart rate > - Manual zone bound settings Really excited for these.

I’m realizing that this app prescribes HR zones that are quite a bit different than what Apple Fitness has for me. Instead of a calc, I’d like to be able to manually set the zones …

This is a really cool idea. You mention it being scriptable, which makes sense as a CLI. Do you have any personal examples of using Lexy in a script? I'm curious about use cases ou…

Excited to try this! I just started zone training a couple of weeks ago as a way to target VO2 Max increases. I’ve indeed found it hard to track time in zone across a week. Thanks …

More of this kind of thing please. Also... this put PostHog in front of me right as I'm looking for a few things they seem to offer. The marketing-gimmick-to-thing-you-need flow wa…

Mermaid is fantastic as a portable I/O format for LLM context. I spent some time discussing entity relationships with an LLM recently, and had it produce a Mermaid diagram to wrap …

Congrats Kilian! Polypane made a massive difference in getting our startup's website shipped a few months ago. I highly recommend it for entrepreneur-devs.

I've been organizing a weekly morning coffee session in Astoria, Queens for the last 2 (or 3?) years. The morning coffees are connected to our local tech community's series of meet…

I'm going through the process of unpacking a prototype into a product roadmap. We just came out of a meeting to kick off architecture discussions/decisions when I saw your post. A …

Love all of these RSS resources. Thanks for sharing! Last week, I spent a couple of hours at a local hack event putting an RSS aggregator[1] together for our community. Just someth…

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I tend to refer to these kinds of services as either: - Value-added hosting providers - Value-added infrastructure providers. My pers…

It's really going to depend on what you want to host and how you want to interact with it as an admin. For Node app hosting, I've been enjoying Render over the past year or so. But…

Bookmarked. I came here to see if DSL was on the list. :) > There are always exceptions, if building this software has some competitive advantage, go ahead. Good callout. There are…

My understanding is that these aren't really intended for much more beyond prototyping/MVP'ing. I can't speak on the others, but I've used v0 a fair amount over the last year and h…

I'd rather something like this either: 1. Work outside of the browser altogether (i.e., be built as an app for the OS), or 2. Integrate directly into the service it is targeting (i…

> 1. Install Amurex from the Chrome Web Store Wishing the project well, but this is where it stops for me unfortunately. Are there any similar tools that aren't browser dependent?

npm download numbers are always exceptionally inflated. I'm sure that number serves some purpose, but I've never found them to be a useful metric when I've worked on public package…

The lack of control I would have over the data trail is why I've never used any of these services. Since I've never used them, I'm not really sure what's under the hood in terms of…

This is so pushing happy buttons for me. Not that this is novel in any way, but I just started a repo call Subcurrent yesterday for the Astoria Tech Meetup in NYC at our Saturday h…

In my NYC neighborhood, we seem to be going through a whole slew of businesses closing shop within the last year and change. One obvious reason is rent hikes. But as one of my favo…

Counterpoint: finding things in System Preferences has never been a good experience. This isn't new at all, so I don't understand what "become" is attempting to imply here. That do…
